The Clone Wars 1x5 ‘Rookies’ Reaction Take 2

STILL SCREAMING

(I wrote this as I rewatched the episode, pausing as I went so that's why it's probably disjointed and all over the shop). Edit: Adding gifs to this because I can and I feel like it suits the more live-blogging style that these types of reaction posts end up being.

Lmao @ the GAR radio hologram

Omg Echo. It’s baby Echo! Look at him and his reg manuals!

Hello Sergeant Reed Richards and your lovely silver temples. Is this Sergeant O'Niner? More silver fox clones plz.

Are his eyebrows grey as well?

Deep Thoughts with Kenobi

Lol look at Obi Wan, so happy to see his space husband. Or its just the dated animation. But we’re all delusional here so let’s go with the first option.

Ah so this is where the ‘Good man, that Cody’ line comes from.

Rip not getting to know more about the lovely clone with the facial hair. Was this Droidbait?

Oof, foreshadowing for Hevy rip

Rip Sentry

Oh hey Fives has his little 5 Aurebesh tattoo already!

Droids! Well that was subtle lmao

I know this is very early on in TCW but there are some funky accents going on with the clones.

Rip Sergeant Silver Fox

Ventress is hilarious. She’s so completely beyond OTT. Ridiculous. I love it.

The entire comm exchange between Cody and the commando droid pretending to be a clone. CACKLING

Droid: Roger roger Rex: *narrows eyes*

Lol @ Cody palming off his problems to Rex. Have fun being in charge of this one!

“The reg manual says that the next–” Omg Echo. 

Rip Cutup. What a gruesome way to go.

“What the hell was that?” A “bad” word? In my animated children’s television show?!

“Ah, that was an eel.” Yes thank you Echo

“Now, that’s why we have the regulation not to go outside.” omg I love him

Lol @ the fanfare when Cody and Rex turn up. The heroes have arrived.

I know I’ve said this before but Rex looks all special with is kama and captain’s pauldron and different helmet and whatever else and then Cody just gets some golden painted bits of his armour and 2 aerials? What is he, a designer retro TV?

Omg the droid pretending to be a clone. You can just tell the animators had a field day with that one.

Thank you for visiting and have a safe trip back? Question mark?

Gif from this post by @dindjarism

“A droid attack flare?” OMG REX DID NOT HESITATE. Even Cody was shocked.

At this point, “Roger, roger” is basically enough to send Rex’s spidey senses into overdrive.

“Woah, Rex! What the heck are you doing?” An even less of a “bad” word? In my animated children’s television show?! 

Also lawl @ Rex’s drawled “Relax” after shooting the droid disguised as a clone at point blank range.

Does Cody not have his gold paint yet?! His armour looked distinctly grey, though they are on a moon so the lighting might be why it looks grey.

“Off the platform!” Rex you just yeeted yourself. And Cody. You actually want to be yeeted don’t you Rex?

Cody is the kind of friend who would jump off a cliff if his friend said to.

What happened on Tibrin? I must know. Is this The Clone Wars version of what happened in Budapest? Will we never know?

It’s a tiny little exchange but you can really tell from the change in voice how familiar Rex and Cody are with each other already.

Also that shot of Rex after he lands from their lines under the platform is absolutely a hero shot and hero pose. There’s quite a few of these throughout the episode and you can really tell that this is absolutely the introduction episode of Rex. So many moments throughout this episode exist just to show what an absolute BAMF he is. Seeing as the character was originally supposed to be Alpha-17 it makes sense. You can really Rex’s jaig eyes really prominently throughout this episode too. Makes sense, seeing as they’re on the front of his helmet, but it almost feels even more emphasised that you’d expect.

Sun bonnets!

Rex just turning around and one shotting the Rishi eel like it’s nothing omg sir stop

Gif from this post by @dindjarism

Echo gets his Rishi eel blood hand print from Rex! Seminal moment unlocked!

Lmao at Anakin and Obi Wan snarking about their clones.

Rex calls Echo kid! I AM WAILING!

Rex old boy? Since when was Cody bri’ish?

Rex, your ideas are as bad as Anakin’s.

The whole scene with trying to get in the blast doors and Rex kneeling there holding up the decapitated head of the commando droid? CACKLING

Cody is so done with your nonsense Rex

That was the most badass delivery of “Roger. Roger.” I have ever seen and we’re only 5 episodes in.

Aw Echo is already worried about Fives.

Rex is basically the personification of ‘so anyway, I started blasting’ at this point.

Rex, Sir, you did not have to go so hard in taking apart that droid with your bare hands

<insert line about hell in a kids tv show here>

Is this the first hero shot we get of Rex, Cody and Echo together? Sure looks like it! Look at Rex looking all noble in the background.

More foreshadowing for Hevy rip

Closest thing we clones have to a home. SOBBING

The little nod between Rex and Cody.

Random gronk droid.

"Didn’t say please." There are so many good cheesy one liners in this episode it's like an 80s action movie. I love it.

"We could use a jedi about now." I think Cody is missing his space husband.

That admiral definitely feels like a stereotype of a posh british officer from WWII or similar

Oh damn this is Hevy's last stand. What a way to go out.

Hevy nooooo what are you doing

“I don’t like your tone rookie” Rex was that a growl?!

Hevy just yeeting the machine gun at the droids.

Noooo Hevy

"I don’t." Wow those were some last words. Rip Hevy

Gif from this post by @theclonewarsdaily

Naw Echo and Fives getting medals. And joining the 501st! Also their completely in sync salute and about turn was the definition of crisp. I know it’s probably just the same animation copied and pasted but we can ignore that and focus on how it’s totally cause they’re the twins in their batch.

OMG THAT EPISODE. MY HEART. CLONES. THE CLONES HAVE MY HEART. EVERYTHING FOR THE CLONES. 

I think I’m going to have to go back and watch some episodes again because when I first watched this I a) didn’t remember most of it and b) hadn’t started to fall in love with the clones. I should imagine coming back and watching important and memorable episodes again after the finale will have another different meaning to it all as well. Though, given what happens in the finale, I might need to wait a bit. Maybe I’ll come back to it after watching Rebels and a few other things I want to catch up on. I did realise though that I did actually watch this episode when I started watching The Clone Wars, I just didn’t remember most of it. The only bits that I remembered were when the 4 clones (Echo, Fives, Heavy and Cutup, I think) escaped through the tunnels to outside the base, right before Cutup got eaten by that eel.

Tamil Film Industry to Pause Productions and Implement New Regulations from November

In a recent high-stakes meeting among key players in Tamil cinema, significant changes are on the horizon. The Tamil Film Producers Association (TFPC), in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association, Tamil Nadu Multiplex Owners Association, and Tamil Nadu Film Distributors, has laid out a series of resolutions aimed at addressing the pressing issues within the industry.

Key Decisions from the Meeting:

OTT Release Window: Films starring major stars will now have an eight-week window between their theatrical release and their debut on OTT platforms. This new regulation aims to maximize the revenue potential from theatrical runs before films become available for streaming.

Actor and Technician Dues: A major concern is the practice of actors and technicians accepting advance payments from multiple production companies while failing to complete existing commitments. To mitigate financial losses for producers, actors and technicians are now required to finish ongoing projects before taking on new ones. Notably, producers are advised to consult the TFPC before beginning new projects involving actor Dhanush, who has been involved in such disputes.

Ceiling on Salaries and Production Costs: The industry has seen a surge in salaries and production costs, impacting overall budgets. The TFPC is working on new regulations to cap these expenses and bring more structure to film financing.

Temporary Suspension of New Shoots: To ensure a smooth transition to these new regulations, a temporary halt on the start of new films has been mandated from August 16, 2024. Current projects must be completed by October 30, 2024, with no new shoots commencing until the new rules are fully implemented.

Communication and Compliance: Producers are required to formally report ongoing film projects to the TFPC. This measure is intended to keep track of productions and enforce the new regulations effectively

Formation of Joint Action Committee: A new committee comprising producers, distributors, and theatre owners will oversee the implementation of these resolutions and address future industry issues.

These sweeping changes come in response to ongoing challenges in Tamil cinema, including financial mismanagement and escalating production costs. The industry has faced similar shutdowns in the past, such as the 2018 strike over revenue sharing issues. This time, however, the focus is on regulating actor and technician conduct, and the industry awaits the reactions from those directly affected by these new rules.

As the TFPC gears up for these significant shifts, it will be crucial to see how these regulations impact the Tamil film industry and whether they effectively address the concerns that have prompted this decisive action.

Rammstein has successfully blocked ticket reseller platform Viagogo from selling any tickets to their 2023 European tour. According to IQ Mag, the Hamburg Regional Court has ruled in Rammstein and European promoter MCT Agentur's favor, making Eventim the only platform allowed to sell tickets for their upcoming tour. The ruling cites consumer protection regulations put in place in May 2022 that clearly the court felt were violated by Viagogo.

Rammstein's battle against Viagogo is nothing new, either. The band sought an injunction against the company for this exact same thing in 2018 for their then-upcoming 2019 European tour. At the time, Ott stated "The court's decision is a warning sign to anyone who thinks they can sell hugely overpriced and invalid Rammstein tickets and advertise these on popular search engines"

Challenges of OTT Advertising in 2024: Navigating the Digital Landscape

1. Platform Fragmentation: The OTT space is crowded with platforms like Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video, each with unique user bases and content libraries. Brands must strategically position ads to stand out across this fragmented environment. 2. Attribution Complexity: Measuring the effectiveness of OTT ads isn’t straightforward. Advanced analytics and multi-touch attribution models are essential to connect ad exposure to actual conversions and understand ROI. 3. Transparency Issues: Many OTT ad inventories are accessed via intermediaries, limiting data visibility and control. Direct partnerships with OTT platforms or agencies offer better access to critical performance data and inventory transparency. 4. Cross-Screen Challenges: Ads must be optimized for varying screen sizes, from smartphones to smart TVs, ensuring consistency in message delivery and engagement across devices without sacrificing quality. 5. Data Privacy Regulations: As data privacy laws tighten, reliance on third-party data declines. Brands need to leverage first-party publisher data for effective targeting while maintaining viewer trust. 6. Integrated Media Strategy: OTT ads should be part of a cohesive media strategy, working in tandem with other channels to drive full-funnel performance and maximize impact. OTT advertising is evolving rapidly. Brands that adapt to these challenges with strategic insights and data-driven approaches will thrive in this dynamic landscape.

The Legal Implications of OTT App Scraping

Over-the-top (OTT) platforms such as Netflix , Amazon Prime, and Hulu have transformed media consumption in today's digital era. As businesses and analysts increasingly utilize OTT data scraping to gather insights, it's essential to understand the legal ramifications. OTT data scraping involves extracting data from these streaming platforms, such as content catalogs, user ratings, and pricing information. While this data can offer valuable insights, scraping must be conducted within legal boundaries to avoid potential issues.

Legal considerations include adherence to copyright laws, as unauthorized extraction of copyrighted content can lead to infringement claims. Additionally, scraping OTT streaming data may violate Terms of Service (ToS) agreements, which often prohibit automated data collection. Data privacy laws, such as the GDPR and CCPA, impose strict rules on handling personal information, adding another layer of compliance requirements.

Businesses using OTT data scraping services should comply with these regulations to mitigate legal risks. Reviewing platform terms, obtaining necessary permissions, and adhering to data privacy laws are crucial steps. By following best practices and consulting legal experts, businesses can effectively and legally utilize data from OTT platforms.

What is OTT App Scraping?

OTT app scraping involves extracting data from streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime , and Hulu. This process gathers crucial information such as content catalogs, user ratings, reviews, and pricing details. Such data is precious for market research, competitive analysis, and content management. Businesses often use an OTT data scraper to automate and streamline this process. However, being mindful of the legal implications of scraping data from OTT platforms is essential. Utilizing OTT app data scraping services requires careful consideration of copyright laws, terms of service agreements, and data privacy regulations to ensure compliance and avoid potential legal issues.

Legal Framework Governing OTT App Scraping

1. Copyright Law

Copyright law is a fundamental consideration when scraping data from OTT platforms. Content on these platforms, including movies, TV shows, and original programming, is typically protected by copyright. Unauthorized scraping of copyrighted material, such as full episodes or movies, can lead to copyright infringement claims.

Copyright Infringement: Scraping copyrighted content without permission may violate the copyright holder's exclusive rights, including the right to reproduce, distribute, and display the work. This can result in legal actions and substantial penalties.

Fair Use Doctrine: In some jurisdictions, the doctrine may provide limited exceptions for using copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, comment, or research. However, fair use is often narrowly interpreted and may not cover scraping large amounts of copyrighted content.

2. Terms of Service (ToS) Agreements

Contractual Restrictions: By agreeing to the ToS, users agree to abide by the platform's rules, which may include restrictions on scraping. Violating these terms can result in the termination of access and potential legal actions for breach of contract.

Enforcement: Platforms actively monitor and enforce their ToS agreements, and scraping activities that violate these terms can lead to legal disputes. It's essential to review and comply with the specific terms outlined by the OTT platform.

3. Data Privacy Laws

Data privacy laws are majorily relevant in OTT app scraping, especially when dealing with user data. Regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation & CCPA impose strict rules on collecting and processing personal data.

GDPR: In the European Union, the GDPR mandates that organizations obtain explicit consent before collecting or processing personal data. Scraping user data from OTT platforms without proper consent can lead to significant fines and legal repercussions.

CCPA: In California, the CCPA gives consumers the right to know what personal data is being collected and request its deletion. Scraping user data violating CCPA regulations can result in legal penalties and damages.

4. Anti-Scraping Laws

Some jurisdictions have specific anti-scraping laws to prevent unauthorized data extraction from websites and online platforms. These laws vary by country and can impose significant restrictions on scraping activities.

Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA): In the United States, the CFAA makes it illegal to access a computer system without authorization. Scraping data from OTT platforms that explicitly prohibits such activities may fall under this statute, leading to potential criminal charges.

UK's Computer Misuse Act: The Computer Misuse Act criminalizes unauthorized access to computer systems in the United Kingdom. Scraping data violating access restrictions can lead to legal consequences under this act.

5. Trade Secrets and Confidentiality

Trade secrets and confidential information are another concern when scraping OTT platforms. Platforms may use proprietary algorithms or data models that are considered trade secrets.

Misappropriation of Trade Secrets: Scraping data that reveals proprietary algorithms or confidential business information can lead to claims of trade secret misappropriation. It's crucial to avoid extracting data that could be classified as confidential or proprietary.

Best Practices for Legal Compliance in OTT App Scraping

1. Review Platform Terms of Service

Before engaging in OTT app data scraping, thoroughly review the platform's ToS to understand any restrictions or prohibitions related to data extraction. Ensure that your scraping activities comply with these terms to avoid legal disputes.

2. Obtain Necessary Permissions

If you need to scrape streaming platform data that might be subject to copyright or privacy laws, seek explicit permission from the OTT platform. Obtaining a data use agreement or license can mitigate legal risks and ensure compliance with relevant laws.

3. Adhere to Data Privacy Regulations

Ensure that your scraping practices align with data privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. Avoid collecting personal data without consent, and implement measures to protect user privacy and data security.

4. Limit Data Collection

To avoid potential copyright infringement and privacy issues, minimize the amount of data you scrape. Focus on collecting only the data necessary for your purposes and avoid scraping large volumes of copyrighted or personal information.

5. Use Ethical Scraping Techniques

Employ ethical scraping techniques that respect the website's robots.txt file and rate limits. Avoid aggressive scraping that could disrupt the platform's operations or violate access restrictions.

6. Consult Legal Experts

Given the complex legal landscape of streaming app scraping, consult with legal experts specializing in intellectual property, data privacy, and technology law. Legal counsel can guide compliance and help navigate potential legal challenges.

Conclusion: Understanding the legal aspects of OTT app scraping is essential for businesses and analysts seeking to leverage data from streaming platforms. Stakeholders can mitigate legal risks and ensure compliance by navigating copyright laws, terms of service agreements, data privacy regulations, and anti-scraping laws. Adhering to best practices and consulting legal experts can enhance compliance and safeguard against potential legal issues. As the landscape of data scraping continues to evolve, staying informed about legal developments and maintaining ethical practices will be crucial for successful and lawful data extraction from OTT platforms.

Embrace the potential of OTT Scrape to unlock these insights and stay ahead in the competitive world of streaming!

Tech-enabled TV Ad Spending Market Primed for Growth Amid Surging Connected TV and Programmatic Advertising Adoption

Connected TVs have enabled brands to target consumers more precisely through programmatic ad platforms. With the rising popularity of smart TVs, as well as increasing broadband and streaming video consumption, the scope for data-driven and addressable TV advertising is expanding rapidly. Over-the-top (OTT) streaming services and smart TV platforms have enabled programmatic buying and measurement of TV ads. Brands can now leverage data on consumers' online behavior, purchasing patterns, and demographics to reach their target audiences across channels like Hulu, YouTube, and streaming apps on smart TV interfaces. Programmatic TV ad platforms also provide features like frequency capping and dynamic ad insertion and replacement. This is optimizing ad experiences for viewers as well as driving better ROI for advertisers. The availability of granular viewership data is also enabling micro-targeting of ads based on geo-location, household attributes, and real-time signals.

The TV Ad spending market size was valued at US$ 212.27 Bn in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 298.12 Bn by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% from 2023 to 2030. Market Drivers The increasing popularity of OTT video services is a key driver boosting tech-enabled TV Ad Spending Market Share. Cord-cutting and cord-nevers are driving unmatched viewership growth of streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. Linear TV viewing is declining, prompting brands to shift budgets to digital platforms for better metrics and accountability. The global rollout of 5G networks will allow delivery of higher video resolutions and enable more immersive ad experiences. This will attract greater ad tech investments towards CTV and addressable TV advertising.

Challenges in TV Ad spending Market The TV ad spending market is facing several challenges currently. One of the major issues is changing consumer behavior and increasing popularity of digital streaming platforms. Younger consumers are spending more time on social media, online videos and OTT platforms for entertainment which is reducing the time spent on traditional TV viewing. This is affecting the reach and effectiveness of TV ads. Another challenge is proliferation of ad-blocking tools which allow consumers to skip TV ads on various devices and platforms. Strict data privacy regulations around the world are also restricting how user data can be collected and used for targeting ads. Measurement of TV ad effectiveness and viewership is also becoming difficult due to growing consumption of content across multiple non-linear platforms. SWOT Analysis Strength: TV still reaches wide audience across demographics. Brand recognition and mass reach of TV ads is unmatched. Weakness: Declining viewership of traditional TV. High production and distribution costs of TV ads. Opportunity: Integration of TV with digital platforms allow enhanced targeting and measurement. Growth of Connected TV and addressable TV ads. Threats: Rising popularity of ad-blocking. Increased regulation around user data and privacy.

Growth Trajectory

Can your current video solution scale with you?

Picture this: Your streaming platform has been up and running for a couple of years, and things have been going well so far. Your audience has grown, and so has your content catalog. The future looks bright.

But as time goes by, you notice a couple of minor things that might not have come up before:

A handful of customers have started inquiring about alternate payment methods, like Venmo or PayPal, which you don’t have in place yet. 

You’ve grown enough to catch the attention of major distributors, but one of the agreements is on hold because a distributor isn’t yet comfortable with your current DRM. 

Last month, you caught a news story about IPTV Store  another platform expanding their reach by partnering with a dealer network, but your developers tell you that your current technology can’t support that type of integration at the moment.

During last week’s live playoff broadcast, a couple of users in rural areas groused about how “fuzzy” the game looked.

These may seem like minor issues, but they may also be the first hints of some potentially major growing pains. Subscribers increasingly expect a wide variety of payment options. Major distributors demand robust DRM. The paths to the discovery of a new platform are constantly evolving.  And viewers won’t settle for low-quality feeds anymore.

There’s a good chance you have outgrown the capabilities of your current technology.

Organizations who have been through similar situations will tell you – better to address these issues a year too early rather than a year too late. Wait too long and your growth is going to be stymied. Or worse yet, you might start losing viewers and subscribers. And we all know, it’s more expensive to get subscribers than it is to keep the subscribers.

Best-in-class video solution providers are prepared to help you scale your business as it grows. Here are the elements you should be looking for to ensure the video solution you choose is scalable.

There are four things to look for in a highly scalable video solution:

Secure Technology: Look for proven global technology and studio-quality DRM.  That means you’re always up and running, and distributors will have confidence in their partnership with you.

Content Delivery Network: Make sure that your CDN can handle spikes in traffic and viewership.  The last thing you want is audience complaints about long buffering times, fuzzy images, or (even worse) connection failures. 

Billing Management: You want to make it as easy as possible for your customers to pay you.  Find a platform that will integrate with major payment gateways, and includes multi-currency support, currency conversion, & other financial support.

Multi-Tenant Support: Partnering can be a great way to find new customers, so you’ll need a platform that can manage resellers, vouchers, distribution, and dealers/sub-dealers to grow your business & increase revenue generation.
